Page became involved in the case of John Stubbs and his pamphlet A Gaping Gulf, objecting to the proposed marriage between Queen Elizabeth I and Francis, Duke of Anjou, a Roman Catholic who was the brother of the King of France. Intent on distributing copies through Sir Richard Grenville, Page was tried with Stubbs and the publisher Hugh Singleton.
